A LevelSender 5 uses three 1.5V AA replaceable lithium batteries to operate. Batteries need to be installed before programming.
Note:
Alkaline batteries can also be used, but battery life estimates will be reduced. They may also reduce the operating temperature range.
2.3.1 Installing LevelSender Batteries
To install the batteries:
- Unscrew the stainless steel cap from the LevelSender to access the battery compartment.
- Install the three batteries with the positive ends first/down, in the battery compartment.
- Replace the stainless steel cap.
Note:
If you are not using your LevelSender for more than two months, Solinst recommends removing the batteries for long term storage.

2.3.2 LevelSender Battery Life Estimates
| Sample Rate | Report Rate | Battery Life Estimates | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One Datalogger Connected | Two Dataloggers Connected | ||
| Every Hour | Every Day | 433 Days | 429 Days |
| Every Hour | Every 6 Hours | 177 Days | 176 Days |
| Every 15 Minutes | Every Hour | 35 Days | 35 Days |
Table 2-2 LevelSender Battery Life Estimates
Note:
Estimates are based on three 1.5V AA lithium batteries.
Note:
The LevelSender will use battery power each time it samples, reports, and checks for updates. As such, more frequent intervals will drain the battery more quickly.
